Key points The most behaviorally potent analogues DOB, DOM, and 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine had high affinities (pA2 = 7.35, 7.12, and 7.08) for 5-HT receptors in the rat stomach fundus model.

Abstract

Hallucinogenic phenylalkylamine and N,N-dimethyltryptamine analogues are known to affect serotonergic systems both in vivo and in vitro. Using a rat stomach fundus model, the 5-HT receptor binding affinities of several of these analogues were determined and compared. The most behaviorally potent analogues examined, DOB, DOM, and 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine, were found to possess rather high affirmities (pA2 = 7.35, 7.12, and 7.08, respectively) for the 5-HT receptors of the model system.
